Let's talk turkey

Fact: Turkey poop to help fuel new power plant. [Karnowski, AP, Benson, Minn]

Ever wonder what happens to all those turkey eggs? Ever ate one? Where do they go?

Turkey eggs taste just like regular old hen's eggs, just bigger. I can only remember eating one or two in my life when I was a just a kid, Mom scrambled them. Of course, you can't use them in a recipe because you'd have to figure out how to divide it..most recipes call for hen's eggs. Ok, this calls for 3 hen's eggs so that means it is one or is it one and one-half turkey eggs? Quick, somebody call a ph.D. with a calculator!!

It seems that the turkey industry uses the eggs to make, get this, MORE turkeys!!After all, Thanksgiving is right around the corner!
